(The Bliss of the Anandamaya kosa is deep sleep or relaxation but it is in nescience.) The constant moving of consciousness between the dream and awakening state preserves duality. In one state samskaras are created and in the other they are dreamed of or picked up again. It is like someone moving grain from a barn to the field and then back to the barn again continually. Past impressions or vasanas and samskaras constantly bring pleasure and pain and in the dream state there are even glimpses of future lives. It is a never ending bottomless pit of impressions, created in past and present lives. So really the impressions in the dream and awake state are like one great mass or 'prajnanaa-ghana'. Overwhelming one's senses like darkness with no clear view. So no matter how verbal non dualist or intellectual one is, without purification one is still going back and forth between the states of dream and awake, between the barn and the field.....ONS...Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
